@mkroening It looks like that older QEMU bundles with OpenSBI firmware that does not support latest SBI standard. I suspect if we can just try to upgrade QEMU, or we can use other SBI firmware (like RustSBI, by using '-bios /path/to/firmware') instead. |
…cated legacy console write Legacy extensions are deprecated in SBI 0.2 dated back to 2021; some of the SBI implementations have already dropped support for legacy console, resulting in no console output for hermit OS loader. To solve this problem, we use its replacement in the SBI 2.0 DBCN extension, which is supported by modern SBI firmwares. We do this by modify our code to use console_write_byte function from sbi-rt.
